every c program is converted to machine code, if this binary is distributed. Since the instruction set of a computer is well known, is it possible to get back the C original program?
After reading Joel's last blog posting and having been a recent adopter of Subversion, I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to what the future of Subversion might be? Will the product evolve to accommodate distributed development or is it at the end of its life?
Ok so I had a qustion awhile back regarding Silverlight 4 Data Binding with anonymous types, one of the answers was to use [assembly: System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleTo("System.Windows")] in your AssemblyInfo.cs file.
I tried this and it works!
I know I'm making all my internal properties classes and methods visible to the System.Windows Assembley.
But what kind of risk is this with the following in mind:
The product is a hosted silverlight based web application, so it wont be distributed.
Thanks in advance
I have a windows form application that uses microsoft access for the database on the backend.
When I run that application I get an error that says access is not installed on the computer. I thought that if I included the reference that it will be included with what I release so the user would not have to have access installed.
How do I include the Access Runtime to be distributed/installed when my application is installed?
In my code I'm attempting to use a transaction using TransactionScope with Entity Framework. While in this transaction we are opening a regular SQL connection to a seperate server and database. When the conn.Open() is called we get an
Error:
"Network access for Distributed Transaction Manager (MSDTC) has been disabled. Please enable DTC for network access in the security configuration for MSDTC using the Componet Services Administrative tool."
However, MSDTC is enabled and running on the Server.
Cant clone Bitbucket repo via https on Debian. I always get error:

Scott Gu just posted about a new set of charting controls being distributed by the .NET team. They look incredible: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/11/24/new-asp-net-charting-control-lt-asp-chart-runat-quot-server-quot-gt.aspx
The million dollar question is ... will they work with MVC, and if so, when?
I get the following exception:
org.jboss.cache.CacheException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure to
marshal argument(s)
We use distributed JBoss cache for our web application (on Tomcat)
I have a strong feeling this is due to bad configuration, but not sure.
Edit (Correction):
We use version 3.0.0.GA of Jboss cache (core)
Lets say that I have only DHT (distributed hash table) implemented (in Python), and I want to build authentication service over P2P network, but without introducing centralized authentication server with such a service. Can it be done, and if so how can I achieve this?
I'm familiar with how Skype and Wuala have done this, but I am looking for decentralized solution without single point of failure.
Using
Sun Glassfish Enterprise server v2.1.1
I am using "alternatedocroot" via sun-web.xml for my web application to abstract out static content from actual deploy-able code (EAR/WAR)
What I have is a cluster of two server instances distributed across two physical hosts - HOST1 and HOST2. "alternatedocroot" points to /data/static-content/ on both HOST1 and HOST2.
Would DAS (Domain application server )take care of syncing /data/static-content between HOST1 and HOST2 if I use syncinstances=true option while starting up the cluster?
Thanks!
I keep hearing that branching in git is so much easier than in SVN, because it's easier to merge the branch back to trunk/master. I've read some tutorials, but they only covered basic merge conflicts ("Alice changed line 8 of code.cpp and at the same time Bob changed line 8 of code.cpp...") and there are no differences between SVN and all other distributed source control systems.
Can you give me the examples of changes in branch that would cause troubles in SVN repository, but would be handled gracefully by git?
I have two level access to database: the first with Hibernate, the second with JDBC. The JDBC level work with nontransactional tables (I use MyISAM for speed). I want make both levels works within transaction. I read about JTA which can manage distributed transactions. But there is lack information in the internet about how to implement and use custom resource.
Does any one have experience with using custom XAResources?
Looking into possibility of making an USB distributed application
that will autostart on insertion of an USB stick and shutdown when removing the stick
Will use .Net and C#.
Looking for suggestion how to approach this using C#?
Update: Two possible solutions implementing this as a service.
- override WndProc
or
- using WMI query with ManagementEventWatcher
Should libraries that the application relies on be stored in source control? One part of me says it should and another part say's no. It feels wrong to add a 20mb library that dwarfs the entire app just because you rely on a couple of functions from it (albeit rather heavily). Should you just store the jar/dll or maybe even the distributed zip/tar of the project?
What do other people do?
During the following months I'll have some spare time so I thought of picking up a new programming language.I've been reading some articles about Go and Io and both of them look interesting and very promising so I'm stuck making a decision about which one to pick up next.
I'm mainly interested in distributed systems and concurrency.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Right, so if you have to decide on a server-side language for a distributed Linux-based server backend, would you choose:
PHP
Mono ASP.net
Java
As a C++ programmer, I'm thinking Java+Tomcat, but I'd love to hear experienced thoughts here, especially relating to debugging and IDE (likely Eclipse).
Also, please, it's not a flame question. I'm seeing excellent sites written in all, I'm just thinking about the compile/debug/release cycle.
Cheers,
Shane
How do you use gems from a MacRuby .5 application on Snow Leopard? Do I need to specify the gem path? If so, how do I do this?
Best scenario is to package the gems inside the application so the user would not have to install them when the app is distributed.
Hi everyone :D
I've just started a new project which requires a WCF service to handle a distributed environment. I'm still trying to find the best way to implement things.
I want to use NHibernate, but I've seen a few different ways to address the serialization. Is this handled in 3.0? I noticed wcf_context inside the truck :D
If it isn't handled could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks everyone
What is Service Broker in SQL Server and is it meaningful to enableitin a simple Database, Not in a distributed DB.
please do not close this question, I saw others similar question and non of them answered me.
The java library I need (jpcap) only works on java 6, it won't work with java 7 (and I have tried :( ), is it still possible to install java 6 on ubuntu? Only according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Choosing_the_default_Java_to_use, 'Oracle (Sun) Java 6 is no longer available to be distributed by Ubuntu, because of license issues'
I've tried to use the instructions on the same site but they don't seem to work...
"./jre-6u34-linux-i586.bin" doesn't seem to do anything!
Thanks!
We have distributed team with client and contractor term in different location. The client has sufficient license for TFS system and they use it for development.
We do not have sufficient license to use the TFs so we use the local Subversion and it works fine.
The problem is merging the two source is always painful. Any tips shall be appreciated.
I've got a rather strange problem. For a Distributed Hash Table I need to be able to do some simple math operations on MD5 hashes. These include a sum (numeric sum represented by the hash) and a modulo operation. Now I'm wondering what the best way to implement these operations is.
I'm using hashlib to calculate the hashes, but since the hashes I get are then string, how do I calculate with them?
I'm trying to evaluate using Riak's Post-Commit Hooks to build a distributed, incremental MapReduce-based index, but was wondering which Riak nodes the Post-Commit Hooks actually run on. Are they run on the nodes the client used to put the commits, or on the primary nodes where the data is persisted? If it's the latter, I'm thinking I can from there efficiently do a map or reduce and put additional records from the output.
Could anyone hint me how to configure SwarmCache for Hibernate to work in cluster (distributed cache)? Probably there are some other alternatives (please, don't suggest JBoss Cache)?
I realize that it is a valid part of a variable name, but I've never seen variable names actually use the symbol $ before.
The Java tutorial says this:
Additionally, the dollar sign character, by convention, is never used at all. You may find some situations where auto-generated names will contain the dollar sign, but your variable names should always avoid using it.
However, since this is geared toward Java beginners, I'm wondering if in the distributed world, the $ lives on with a special meaning.
